Bilingual (English/Japanese) hospitality and media professional with experience across Michelin-starred restaurants, wine bars, and Apple Retail. Born in the U.S. and started working in kitchens at 15, I’ve served as a sommelier, chef, and social media manager — growing the online presence of wine bars through Tabelog and Instagram. I also mentor junior staff in service and communication, and currently work as a Business Expert at Apple, helping businesses grow through digital tools. I bring a unique mix of service, strategy, and leadership to every role.
